Baroness X Ice Bubble Flambe
A blurple to light pink thermal with blue to violet shimmers and microflakes, a light dusting of large particle holo pigment and ultra-thin silver holo microglitter.

Inspired by the flammable ice bubbles that form in ice in some lakes. Most famously from Lake Abraham in Alberta, Canada. Methane bubbles are produced by decaying organic matter in the sediments at the bottom of lakes or rivers. The bubbles freeze when temperatures plunge.
